HEAD LICE

Yesterday CT brought home a handout on HEAD LICE from the school nurse. It was so nice of them to let us know that someone has indeed contracted HEAD LICE in his class. Included in the information was the whole life cycle of the louse, which is very compelling and interesting reading for a Thursday afternoon.

I remember back in grade school when there would be a head lice scare. The teachers would line us up by class so we could wait patiently, or not so patiently, for the entire school to get their heads checked by rubber gloved woman sitting at card tables with old fashioned black combs just waiting to find the little critters laying nits in someone’s hair.

Then, once they found the culprit, the poor little bastard would immediately be sent home for the day to be disinfected. It didn’t matter to the gloved woman that the infected kid would be ostracized for week’s even months later, they just wanted them out. And by the end of that school day, everyone knew who had it.

Oh sweet school day memories.
